Karma199696 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 i have a question, probably stupid but since i don't know the answer i think would be more stupid not asking how do i download mods from steam ?? i don't mean how to subscribe to mods, that i could do if i wanted... but i'm using MO, so my mods are not supposed to go into the data folder but need to be added through MO... how do i do that for mods from steam community ?? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritualclarity Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 What the hell ? I submitted this earlier but some reason it didn't upload.. ? I was in a hurry however.. so that might be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortec Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 You don't really download mods form steam like Nexus or LL or here, you 'subscibe" them to your Skyrim playthrough. So you don't get the Mesh/Texture etc files. I think that's your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritualclarity Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I believe the desire was to control the mods just like all the other mods.. through MO not have Steam dump them into the data folder. The way Steam does it there is little control over the files in MO. Can't work the files like you can when controlled with MO. The video I linked earlier (sorry guess I didn't reply like I thought I did when I read this post earlier.) gives instructions to have MO do the downloading and the file ends up in the Overwrite folder and then a mod can be made out of it.
